And now even the major outlets are claiming it was a hoax. Of course, they will still blame the attack that didn't happen on Trump.
You know what didn't make sense? See, a long time ago, a roommate made an observation to me that I've often claimed is one of the most important revelations about life that there is. It is seemingly obvious, but when you really get it, you can claim a lot more peace in life.
You wanna know what it is? Ok.
You're not that important.
That person who didn't invite you to a party or lunch? They didn't do it on purpose - they didn't care. The person who cut you off in traffic that you think did it on purpose? They don't care - and they weren't paying attention to you. Once you realize that most unpleasant things that happen to you from others happen because they don't care, they aren't paying attention and they don't even know you.
You have to be important for people to be mean to you on purpose. Yes, there will be people who will be mean to you as the opportunity presents itself - they react. But they are not going to go out of their WAY to bother you. To do that, they'd have to CARE - and they don't.
Which is why when I hear stories of racism, I know that people who harbor hate don't make plans ahead of time to hate - they'd rather just live their lives and dislike you when it's convenient for them. They don't go around finding ways to make your life worse. They're going to forget about you.
Which is why it was ridiculous to think a couple rednecks managed to be walking at 2am on one of the coldest nights of the year in a part of Chicago where one resident said being black or gay is pretty damned common - happen to be carrying a rope and a bottle of bleach in the vain hope you MIGHT see a gay TV star of a show you're extremely unlikely to have ever watched.
AND manage to do it out of the sight of any camera in the only minute not caught be surveillance.
Yup - so he's going to be charged with filing a false report. How will that play out?
